Over-confidence of Trojans Favorable for Oregon State Col-lege Chances.
By NORMAN COWAN
Determined to upset the dope and rive Conch Howward Jones1 Trojans the battle of their lives. Coach Paul schissler of Oregon State is in South era California today with his squad of thirty-three men. The Beavers m e once more the underdogs, and being considered as such, is just In Schiss-ler-8 plan. His team will enter tomorrow's battle with this psychological advantage.
Last fall, late in the football season, an Oregon State team, rated on the coast as only third class, went to New York City to engage Coach Chick Meehan’s powerful N. Y. I’, out-lit. No one In the big city took the western team seriously and most of the crowd assembled In tlie huge ball park that day went out to see Ken Strong perform. What they saw soon after the whistle blew’ was something entirely new and unexpected. The final score of 25 to 13 in Oregon's favor was indicative enough.
lt may have been true that the Purple team was overconfident, and like the crowd didn't think that lt had any opposition, but nevertheless, Schissler’s team won—and won decisively.
Tomorrow, Coach Schissler Is hoping against hope that the same feeling Is prevailing on the Trojan varsity. He realizes that Coach Jones lias better and more seasoned material than he, and knows that he has a slim chance of winning, unless Southern California "falls down" in fight. He has a green team, but one that has remarkable possibilities if It commences to function as it should.
Oregon State will flash something new and different in the way of shifts (that is to coast fans) tomorrow. It is known as the “military” shift nnd is one of the most deceptive shifts yet devised to fool an opponent. In practice during the past week tlie Trojan first and second string varsity squads had more than a little difficulty in solving it. In fact, most of the time they didn’t know who bad the ball.
Time after time the Spartons, acting as the State varsity, gained at will, passing to a clear man, or crashing through the line for big gains. Unless Coach Jones' eleven plays entirely different football on the Coliseum field tomorrow they are in for a tough day of it.

TROJAN DIRECTORY GIVEN NEW NAME
"Date Book” is Campus Slang for Student Address and Telephone Book.
“The Trojan Date Book” is what campus students are dubbing the new Trojan Directory, which ls now in the hands of the printers. The new name has been given because of the fact that the directory will contain the address and telephone number of every co-ed enrolled in the university, Ray Zeman, editor, stated yesterday.
In addition to this Information, the Trojan Directory also will give the class numerals college enrolled in, fraternity or sorority affiliation, and home town address of every student. In addition, it will contain the name, title, address, and telephone number of every faculty member, administrative officer, cleric, secretary, and office assistant in the university.
The book will be on sale at the student store, when it appears, for 25 cents per copy.

Coming to school in what ever means of transportation that was available from buggies and bronchos to bycycles of the large wheen tppe, 55 freshmen who composed the first class of the University of Southern California, attended the original fall opening of the S. C. Institution on Oct. 6, 1880.
The initial group of students came from all parts of the surrounding territory to tlie opening of school. Dr. Marion McKinley Bovard was S. C.’s first president and he was assisted by nine faculty members. Sunday, Oct. 6, 1929 will commemorate the forty-ninth anniversary of the opening of classes.
One frame building distinguished the cradle campus, which was in a grainlleld, edging a small western village of nearly 12,000 population — tlie City of Los Angeles in 1880. There | were no pavements, no sidewalks, and no electric lights ln tre vicinity of the embryo university. Transportation had many picturesque features; stylish surreys and elegant victorias mingled with prancing California horses sporting silver-studded Mexican saddles and jingling spurs, and sometimes even squeaking carretas pulled by bull teams were seen.
FARMS BECOME TOWNS Exposition Park was then known as Agricultural Park. Inglewood and Whittier were ranches. Helen Hunt Jackson was doing research work for her historical novel of California, "Ita-mona,” and the first tourist-grand excursion (under the management of Raymond Whitcomb) did not arrive in southern California until two years later. About this time the Los Angeles Athletic club came into existence with 41 charter members.
Now known as University Park and adjoining Exposition Park, this same campus, distinguished by the turrets and towers of a dozen halls of learning, Is to be the scene of a week's festive activities in Mny-June, 1930, when the Semi-Centennial of S.

Enforcement of traffic regulations to be carried out on the campus by the Trojan Knights has been begun. The traffic committee of the Knights plans to give special attention to seeing that parking spaces are used correctly and that restricted or forbidden spaces are kept open.
There have been many tags issued to traffic violators. These tags are kept and filed and the offenders are dealt with according to the number of law violations. For two offenses the gulity one is brought before the meetings of the Trojan Knights. If they continue to violate the rules they are then brought before members of the university administration and are dealt with more severely.
Art Neelley and his committee are in charge of traffic on the campus and they are assisted by the Trojan Knights.
There are certain spaces on the campus in which parking is strictly forbidden. The zones that must be kept clear are the yellow zones between the Student Union and the Administration building; in front of the Administration building; in front of the Student Union; in front of Bridge hall; in the space between the Administration and Old College buildings, and near fire plugs and all pedestrian crossings.
Space at the present time is rather I scarce around the campus and each student should have a cerain amount i of respect for the others who have to j park their cars also, stated Sam Newman, president of the Trojan Knights,
I yesterday.
I He suggested that students park as j I straight as possible when heading into the curb, aud as close together as possible without doing damage to the other cars. On University avenue i there are white lines marking off the j spaces and if cars will conform with i these places, parking will be made j ; more uniform and fenders will not be ! j nicked and bent in the endeavor to ! I get away from the curb.
| The only street on which cars are I | allowed to park at right angles to the I curb is on 36tli street. Parking on . | University avenue is at an angle to ! the curb. All other streets around 1 the campus have parallel parking.
Neelley stressed the fact that students should not take up more space in parking than they actually need.

I yesterday.
I He suggested that students park as j I straight as possible when heading into the curb, aud as close together as possible without doing damage to the other cars. On University avenue i there are white lines marking off the j spaces and if cars will conform with i these places, parking will be made j ; more uniform and fenders will not be ! j nicked and bent in the endeavor to ! I get away from the curb.
| The only street on which cars are I | allowed to park at right angles to the I curb is on 36tli street. Parking on . | University avenue is at an angle to ! the curb. All other streets around 1 the campus have parallel parking.
